History and Education

Family and Background

Lo'ren T'Vof spent her early years on Bajor, in a mining camp in Rakantha Province. Her mother, Ari Sia, is a musician who was forced into the mines, her father, Dr. Tarven of Vulcan, is an independent medical doctor who had been allowed on the planet to care of the Bajoran workers but not allowed to leave. They continue to reside in Rakantha Province.

Lo'ren grew up typically Bajoran, her parents having elected not to enforce the strict emotional control typical of Vulcan but instructed her in logic and the ways of Vulcan as well as those of Bajor and the Prophets. Lo'ren has no blood siblings but considers other mining camp survivors as being within her extended family. She also has begun to consider many of her Starfleet companions in this same view.

Pre-Starfleet History

After Bajor was liberated, Lo'ren came out of the camps and was accepted into the Music Conservatory that was restarting in Rakantha. While young for an applicant, she was accepted because of exemplary teaching from her mother.

After completing those studies Dr. Tarven wanted his daughter to get off of Bajor. He used some of his own contacts to get Lo'ren recommended to Amazon University in Brazil, well known for their Exo-Linguistics program as Lo'ren had learned to speak 5 languages as a child and was quick to pick up words when interacting with Starfleet officers who came down to the Bajor post-liberation.

At her father's request following graduation from Amazon University, Miss T'Vof spent some time on Vulcan, where she studied at the Science Directorate and attempted Kohlinar but chose not to complete the program. From there Lo'ren decided to apply to Starfleet Academy and received several recommendations from her University professors and Directorate instructors.

Medical History

Lo'ren has a rather noticeable scar that runs up from her left arm to the side of her face. Received during her childhood, it is a stark white reminder of the Cardassian mistreatment of Bajorans. Shaped much like a vine, it is the remnant of a run-in with severely malfunctioning equipment. Lo'ren has no difiiculties from the scar itself, but retains deep anger towards the Gul who ordered her to repair that equipment.

Has the typical T-cell anomalies found in many Bajorans, also has Vulcan T-negative blood type (rare).

Due to Lo'ren being of interspecies heritage, there is a margin of imprecision when predicting possible medical complications, but she has been exposed to the typical childhood illnesses common to both her parent species.

Looks younger than her physical age; appears to have inherited the longer life-span of her Vulcan Heritage.
